Package: iceweasel
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
after reading this blog post
http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_find_a_browser_plugin_supporting_a_given_MIME_type.html
I was wondering why not simply taking over the patch which the author
claimed to exist in Ubuntu and enable easy installation of packages
handling a requested mime type.
Kind regards and thanks for maintaining iceweasel
Andreas.

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
